Abstract
STEM education is an approach that can be applied in learning science in the millennial era. The Project based learning integrated with STEM approach (PjBL-STEM) has implemented to enhance the STEM literacy of senior high school (SHS) student. The quantitative (quasi-experiment) methods with the matching only pre-posttest control group design was used to investigate the enhancement of STEM literacy. The research subject were 71 SHS students (35 students in experimental class, and 36 students in control class) who were learning science in the environment pollution topics. The learning was arranged in a group of four students, initiating by the class discussion on the concepts behind the pollution, proposing the STEM problem by teacher, arranging the design to solve the problem-trying out the design- presenting the product by the groups, assessing the product as well as the presentation both by teacher and other groups (peer assessment). The research shows that all of student in group are closely involved in the project and learning. This leads to a good impact to the enhancement of STEM literacy, much better than control class which was implemented the PjBL model without STEM approach.
